The Behavioral Immune System: Implications for Social Cognition, Social Interaction, and Social Influence (2016, methodology): “…results further support a unique link between the behavioral immune system and the psychology of prejudice and have useful implications for the development of interventions that might reduce prejudice (for additional discussion of prejudice-reduction implications, see Schaller & Neuberg, 2012).”
In Godlessness We Distrust: Using Social Psychology to Solve the Puzzle of Anti-atheist Prejudice (2013, background): “Researchers might make more headway by instead focusing on the specific threats that given individuals or groups are perceived to pose and forming hypotheses about potential reactions to those individuals or groups (e.g., Cottrell & Neuberg, 2005; Kurzban & Leary, 2001; Schaller & Neuberg, 2012).”
The behavioral immune system: Current concerns and future directions (2018, background): “…threat, nor all people identical levels of infection‐related vulnerability, the behavioral immune system exhibits functional flexibility—sensitivity to the costs and benefits of pathogen avoidance (e.g., Schaller & Neuberg, 2012; Schaller & Park, 2011; Schaller, Park, & Kenrick, 2007).”
The Behavioral Immune System (2015, background): “Much evidence implicates the behavioral immune system in the stigmatization of, and prejudice against, different categories of people (Kurzban & Leary, 2001; Oaten, Stevenson, & Case, 2011; Schaller & Neuberg, 2012).”
The Behavioral Immune System Shapes Political Intuitions: Why and How Individual Differences in Disgust Sensitivity Underlie Opposition to Immigration (2017, background): “…food, objects, or people) outside of cognitive awareness and, upon detection, motivates individuals to take precautions that help avoid coming into contact with pathogens in the first place (Oaten, Stevenson, and Case 2009; Schaller and Duncan 2007; Schaller and Neuberg 2012; Tybur et al. 2013).”
Not So Subtle (2016, background): “Indeed, extant research has demonstrated that stereotypes vary in the extent to which they evoke negativity, pity, anger, and fear as a function of the social threat that a particular group is perceived to pose (Cottrell & Neuberg, 2005; Neel, Neufeld, & Neuberg, 2013; Schaller & Neuberg, 2012).”
Evolution and human motivation: A fundamental motives framework (2017, background): “…unique implications for intergroup relations, with different self‐protective concerns (e.g., predator avoidance, and disease avoidance) facilitating different forms of prejudice— and thus also have unique applications for the design of prejudice–reduction interventions (Schaller & Neuberg, 2012).”
